Abstract

The study of reactions by NMR spectroscopy is normally limited by the poor detection limits offered by the method. An overview is presented of how chemical reactions can be studied using parahydrogen-assisted NMR spectroscopy, where detected signals can have strengths that exceed those normally available by factors that approach 31,000.
